The Riverway

About this hike

Winding from the Back Bay Fens to Olmsted Park, The Riverway is a wooded linear park that follows the Muddy River. Designed by Olmsted as part of Boston’s Emerald Necklace, this narrow, shaded trail offers a natural escape within the city. Footbridges, stone walls, and densely wooded paths provide a peaceful and immersive walk, ideal for nature lovers.
